Set within a converted brewery in the shadow of York Minster, this one-bedroom apartment combines period character with city-centre convenience. The open-plan living space and exposed beams create a distinctive home with rooftop views; a residents’ terrace and secure gated courtyard add outdoor space rarely found in central locations.
The layout suits a first-time buyer seeking a compact, characterful home or an investor wanting a city-centre let. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas underfloor heating and a long lease (199 years from 2009). At 460 sq ft the apartment is efficiently arranged; the bedroom enjoys south-easterly aspects and the living area is bright with high ceilings.
Buyers should note this building is Grade II listed, which can restrict alterations and may complicate future works. The annual service charge (£2,520) and ground rent (£275 pa) are material ongoing costs. The wider area is a cosmopolitan student and professional neighbourhood and recorded higher crime levels than average, which some purchasers may wish to consider.
Overall, this property offers a rare combination of period charm, central convenience and manageable running costs for those prepared for a listed building and its associated restrictions. It’s well placed for city amenities, schools and mainline rail links, making it attractive for owner-occupation or rental income potential.
